Step by Step Process to Assemble a 10x10 Gazebo Tent

Step 1:

step 1

Attach “A” and “B” with the center plate “F” to join these both pieces of beam securely using 8 bolts “pp”. Use the assembled beams to create a rectangle shape, and join all 4 corners from corner plate “E” with 8 bolts “pp”.

Step 2:

step 2

All the 4 legs “G” of the gazebo should be firmly bolted to the foot plate “H” using 3 bolts “pp”. This will ensure the stability of your gazebo.

Step 3:

step 3

To complete the frame, elevate the rectangular beams and tighten the corners with leg “G” and 4 bolts “Pp”.

Step 4:

step 4

Now, pick the middle joint cover “J” and bolt it onto each of the 4 assembled beams using 4 screws “Qq”. Next, screw all the corners with corner covers “I” using four more screws “qq” for extra support!

Step 5:

step 5

Start by fitting the mounting brackets “P” and “O” to the rafters “M” and “N”. About 8 inches from the end of your rafter, you can use a threaded hole.

Raise the central hub “L” of your gazebo approximately 2.79m (110″) for best stability and access. Since it is quite heavy, make sure to push it with full strength. Connect the one end of the rafter “M” to the center hub using 2 bolts, “Pp.”

Using the 2 bolt “pp”, Join the other end of the rafter “M” with the mounting bracket to a corner of your rectangular beam assembly. Repeat the previous step with rafter “M”.

Similarly, connect the one end of rafter “N” to the center hub using 2 bolts, “Pp.” Using the 2 screw “qq”, Join the other end of rafter “N” with the mounting bracket to a corner of your rectangular beam assembly. Repeat this step with the other rafter “N”.

Step 6:

step 6

Cover the central hub “L” with the top cap “K” using flat washers and acorn nuts “Vv.” So that it fits tightly against both sides.

Step 7:

step 7

Add “Q” and “R” flashing onto the beam assembly from the inside of the gazebo with screws “qq”. The notched ends should be lined up with the corners of the gazebo for stability.

Step 8:

step 8

The curtain rails “T” must be installed from the inside of the beam assembly utilizing bolts “Pp”. This will ensure that the curtains will hang properly and evenly.

Step 9:

step 9

Using the provided spacers, insert the polycarbonate panels between the rafters such that they are facing towards the sun. Also, take the help of a rubber hammer to tap each panel inside.

Step 10:

step 10

Take the middle roof panels and slide them under the polycarbonate panels until they are fully in the slot and in between your rafters. Now, tap lightly to make sure the panels are seated properly before moving on to the next step.

Step 11:

step 11

Insert the remaining roofing panels with care, making sure they are placed in the lower groove of the rafters and lower section of the roof joint.

Step 12:

step 12

Use a “pp” bolt to secure the edging in place and corner caps (“gg” or “hh”).

Step 13:

step 13

Add the upper crossbars to your roof by bolting them down into place with a “pp” bolt. Do this according to the letters and shapes provided for a perfect installation.

I would suggest you not to tighten the bolts immediately, but to wait until all of the crossbars are in place. This way you can avoid having to readjust them later on. Afterwards, you can go back and tighten each one of the bolts. Repeat this same process for each of the lower crossbars.

Step 14:

step 14

It is important to secure each foot plate with screws “rr” and washers “tt” so they stay in place. If necessary, use lag shields (Ss) for tough surfaces.

Step 15:

step 15

Insert the screen curtains “ww” with the help of hooks inside the interior groove of the rail. Similarly, privacy curtains “xx” can be inserted with ease inside the exterior groove of the rail. Lastly, add the curtain rail cap “uu” to finish the look.
